Ok Santoury we just might take you up on that.We have many nasty fish as it is..

Your fish is a Paratheraps guttulatus and a fine specimen which may grow to a foot in length if you're lucky.

Thats not a synspilum. Hartwegi would be my quess too. I have a small 1 but mine is too small to compare to that. Here's a pic of my male synspilum.

only this time indubitably 'Rio Mosanito'

synpilum/bifasciatum are both have alot more red in them and have rounder bodies. Im 99% sure that what you have a beautiful hartwegi.

Guessing game is over. Your fish is a Paratheraps guttulatus, a fine specimen, and probably a female due to the apparent lack of a dorsal filament. She should top out at around 7-9". She is a rheophilic and not related to any of the lacustrine Vieja.

Below is a wild-caught female P. guttulatus 'Rio Mosanito.'
